So when training to detect submarines, you suggest that we simply duct
tape some dixie cups to the operators ears, and somone in the room
makes some squeeky noises as a simulation of the real thing?

Then I, when I go to the range, should simply point my weapon at the
target, and shout Bang, Bang? This is good training..eco friendly
training, correct?

You don't even need to go to the range. You can just sit there at
your kitchen table, and imagine going to the range to say "bang bang".

I read recently, of an experiment where there were three groups.
One group was set to work practicing piano all day. The 'control'
group just sat in the room with the piano for the same number of
hours. The third group was in the room with the piano, but imagined
doing the same exercises as the first group. Brain scans were made
of all three groups. The first group saw the most change, the second
(control) group saw 'no' changes, but the third group saw change, more
than the control group, but not as much as the actual practices.
So there may be something to the "think about it" school of
practice.
